chuck schumer said he and lindsey graham will continue talks that stopped two years ago. you know what, whatever gets them to the table i guess. graham said the tone and rhetoric used by his party built a wall between the hispanic and republican party. you think? he said it has to stop. it's one thing to shoot yourself in the foot, just don't reload the gun. i intend the american solution to an american problem. very rare, sure. their plan is requiring high tech social securities to insure illegal workers can't get jobs strengthening borders and a process for admitting temporary workers. schumer said the plan embraces a path to citizenship which is fair, which means you have to learn english, you have to go back to the line, and you have to have a job and you can't commit crimes. this is the pathway to citizenship. yes, do you remember that? yes, here it is, since the election some voices including sean hannity are in support of immigration reform. what happened to them screaming amnesty. no matter anything reasonable. >> when you evolve, you evolve over a period of time.
